Former MTA board member Alan Friedberg got so busted today by the Daily News, which is running photos of him illegally parking his bloody Jaguar with a police-issued parking permit on the dashboard. (For added indignation, the photographer caught him standing by the car with his sneering, fur coat-clad wife.) Like other past and current MTA board members, Friedberg was supposed to turn in the placard last year, but on Sunday he was spotted parking in a restricted zone on 43rd Street. He says it was only for a few minutes so he could check out a demonstration against Israel's invasion of Gaza. Of course, the abuse of parking perks has long been a hallmark of "public service"; who could forget City Planning Commissioner Dolly Williams's infamous Porsche park job in Park Slope? Or MTA board member Nancy Shevell's illegal SUV parking while she got her nails done?

infuriating.
okay, burgundy jaguar, nyc 25 vanity plate
if i see you on the street you will be keyed savagely.
Do you think he'd care? He's got money coming out the wazoo and would have it repainted in no time. Only the little people pay for parking. Or for increased subway fares.
That is a pretty sweet looking jag, nice color!
Looks like a 2008 XJ-R... Very nice car indeed.
I don't blame the jerkoff for using the tag as much as the people who let this corruption continue. Disgusting.
Mr. Alan Friedberg, what does "the demonstration against Israel's invasion of Gaza" have to do with the MTA? Or do you also work for the NYPD?
Wait till PETA gets their hands on your wife's coat. Fur is so out except if your are an obnoxious ...
Another MTA jackass.
all the money in the world cant buy an ounce of class
Has Mayor Mike commented on this story yet????
Douche. There should be some arrestable-offense of impersonating a police officer, etc. A fine isn't enough. Did I mention douche?
When they eliminate the M8 bus maybe he will give us all rides...
10 : M8 probably won't be getting cut.
Also, this guy is a total asshole.
